127: Fourteen high quality items!

This terrifying scene made all the bodyguards who were blocking Cheng Tianhao and others stop involuntarily, looking at Xiao Shi with horror.

It wasn't just them.

Cheng Tianhao and the other sequence contenders were also dumbfounded.

Although Xiao Shi's previous move had already made them realize that his strength was definitely not just the Qi Martial Realm Middle Stage as it appeared, the leaves and branches covering Xiao Shi's body, and the tree trunks and branches rapidly emerging from the ground, made them realize Xiao Shi's extraordinariness.

Under the entanglement of those tree trunks and branches, several of Wei Chen's bodyguards were easily killed, completely unable to resist.

This method... was simply incredible!

They all knew very well.

The leaves and branches covering Xiao Shi's body should have come from the tree and grass protection of the second stage, but Xiao Shi's tree and grass protection seemed to be different from that of others!

However, the tree and grass protection could still be explained... but the tree trunks and branches that emerged from the ground and entangled them were somewhat puzzling.

After all, in the previous stages, no important item with such a function had appeared.

This made them wonder why Xiao Shi possessed such an ability.

At the same time, after Xiao Shi dealt with several of Wei Chen's bodyguards, his gaze also turned to the others.

Anyone caught in his gaze trembled.

Their scalps tingled.

Their hearts couldn't help but pound faster.

They felt as if they were being targeted by a ferocious beast.

They could all clearly feel the indifference and killing intent in Xiao Shi's eyes.

This gaze... clearly regarded them as prey!

This made Cheng Tianhao and the others' breathing become rapid.

They had thought Xiao Shi's target was only Wei Chen's bodyguards, but they hadn't expected that they were also Xiao Shi's prey!!

For a time, the threat brought by Xiao Shi's gaze made the bodyguards tremble and had to stop their siege on Cheng Tianhao's four.

Although there was no verbal communication between them, at this moment, they all tacitly united their front, shifting their gaze to Xiao Shi.

The threat Xiao Shi posed to them was simply too strong.

It made everyone feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Xiao Shi glanced at the items dropped by Wei Chen's deceased bodyguards, not in a hurry to pick them up.

He planned to deal with everyone first, then slowly examine the items.

Swish!

Xiao Shi's figure flashed in place.

His speed, enhanced by the tree and grass on his body, had reached an extremely terrifying level.

Before the bodyguards could react, Xiao Shi had already arrived in front of them.

Astonishingly powerful Taiyin Qi Strength filled Xiao Shi's body, and with the ancient tree's enhancement, his Taiyin Qi Strength was now far more potent than under normal circumstances.

He extended both hands forward, using the Taiyin Qi Strength permeating his body to converge in front of him, forming a massive and complex black eye.

The entire black eye was filled with an eerie aura, like the eye of a demon.

The moment it appeared, this black eye fixed its gaze on everyone nearby.

In an instant, those targeted by the black eye all trembled.

Their pupils seemed to be assimilated by the black eye, also transforming into the shape of a black eye.

At the same time, their expressions became dull and numb, as if they had fallen into some kind of lost state.

Their bodies involuntarily walked step by step towards the black eye.

As they continuously approached, their bodies began to melt step by step!

The bodyguard closest to the black eye, after advancing a certain distance, had his hands already melted into a pool of blood, and his legs had also largely melted.

Yet, he seemed to have no sensation, still continuously approaching the black eye.

The closer he got to the black eye, the faster his body would melt.

In an instant, the bodyguard's entire body melted into blood.

Even so, those targeted by the black eye still advanced in an endless stream, like pilgrims, approaching the black eye step by step.

"Is this... the power of the Taiyin Eye!!"

Xiao Shi's eyes also showed shock.

This was his first time using the Taiyin Eye.

The three Taiyin Artss of the Taiyin Scroll: Taiyin Escape, Taiyin Eye, and Taiyin Seal.

Now that Xiao Shi had reached the Qi Warrior Realm Late Stage, he could use all of them.

However, the power of the Taiyin Eye was far stronger than Xiao Shi had imagined.

Everyone here was now under the influence of the Taiyin Eye, their minds lost, continuously approaching the Taiyin Eye.

Of course, Xiao Shi also knew that such astonishing effects were related to the enhancements he was currently receiving.

After all, he was currently receiving immense enhancements from the ancient tree, which made his Taiyin Qi Strength reach a level that was difficult to achieve under normal circumstances.

The Taiyin Eye unleashed this way possessed astonishing power!

At this moment, not only were many bodyguards approaching step by step under the influence of the Taiyin Eye, but the four sequence contenders, including Cheng Tianhao, were also affected by the Taiyin Eye.

However, as they continued to advance, when their bodies began to melt, these four sequence contenders all used various means and treasures on their bodies to awaken from this lost state.

They all raised their hands in panic, and although they woke up in time, each person's fingers had still melted and lost a section!

"This... what kind of ability is this!!"

Cheng Tianhao's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with horror.

He dared not look at the giant black eye again, fearing he would get lost once more.

The others' expressions also carried extremely strong fear and apprehension.

Such an ability... they had never seen before!

If it weren't for some important life-saving treasures on their bodies, they would inevitably suffer the same fate as the other bodyguards, directly getting lost and falling under the gaze of the black eye, thus continuously approaching and melting into blood.

After a continuous few minutes, the entire black eye gradually dissipated.

Through the use of the Taiyin Eye, Xiao Shi discovered that this Taiyin Eye consumed a considerable amount of Qi Strength.

However, with his current authority within this ancient tree, his Qi Strength could always remain in an inexhaustible state, so he wasn't afraid of consumption.

But if he were outside... it would probably be difficult to maintain the Taiyin Eye for such a long time.

At this moment, except for the four sequence contenders, including Cheng Tianhao, all the other bodyguards had turned into blood under the Taiyin Eye!

The destructive power of this Taiyin Arts was extremely terrifying.

It could be said to be the most powerful offensive Taiyin Arts among the three Taiyin Artss of the Taiyin Scroll.

Especially with Xiao Shi's Taiyin Qi Strength currently enhanced, even these bodyguards, who were Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection, were completely defenseless and instantly died.

However, the four sequence contenders, including Cheng Tianhao, became the ones who slipped through the net.

Xiao Shi's gaze then turned to the four of them.

Just one look made their legs go weak, almost unable to stand steadily.

Unprecedented fear continuously exploded in their minds.

From Xiao Shi's gaze, they all felt an incredibly strong killing intent.

At this moment, Xiao Shi was the most terrifying existence in the world to them.

"Nie... Brother Nie!"

Cheng Tianhao's lips were trembling.

"What do you want, you can tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely get it for you, please... spare my life!"

Xiao Shi glanced at Cheng Tianhao.

To be honest, he hadn't intended to kill Cheng Tianhao.

Although the Shadow Seed Cheng Tianhao had given him earlier was a transaction between them, it wasn't a favor given by the other party.

There was no debt between them.

But along the way, Xiao Shi felt that Cheng Tianhao was a decent person.

Most importantly... Xiao Shi considered that if he killed everyone here and was the only one left, it would inevitably cause a huge stir in the Rapid Shadow Palace.

Although the identity of Nie Jie he was currently using was fake and not his true identity, even if his strength was exposed, it wouldn't affect his true identity.

But Xiao Shi didn't want to give up this identity just yet.

If he killed everyone here, he would inevitably have to abandon this identity.

After all, given the Rapid Shadow Palace's Pay attention to of people like Cheng Tianhao, their deaths would definitely cause a significant shock.

In Xiao Shi's initial plan, he intended to leave Cheng Tianhao alive.

However, this required Cheng Tianhao to ensure that he would not leak what happened here after leaving, so that Xiao Shi could continue to use the identity of Nie Jie.

At this moment, it wasn't just Cheng Tianhao begging for mercy; the other three were also begging for mercy, stating that they were willing to pay any price.

After some thought, Xiao Shi already had a concrete idea of how to deal with these people.

"Whether you live or die... depends on your luck."

Xiao Shi raised his hand and pointed at them.

Numerous branches suddenly shot out from the ground.

However, these branches did not bind or entangle Cheng Tianhao and the others; they merely surrounded them in place and blocked their view.

Xiao Shi then began to pick up the items on the ground and examine them.

"If the mysterious item from this place successfully drops, then I might not have to kill them..."

"But if these bodyguards don't drop that mysterious item, then there's nothing I can do."

Regarding that mysterious item from this place, Xiao Shi had to obtain it no matter what.

If these bodyguards failed to drop this mysterious item, then he would have no choice but to kill these sequence contenders to get it to drop.

The bodyguards Xiao Shi killed this time were mostly Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection, with only a few being Qi Warrior Realm Late Stage.

This meant that the items dropped now were all high-quality items!

Name: Wind Severing Sword

Type: Weapon

Grade: Qi Warrior Grade

Introduction: When forging this sword, the swordsmith cast a powerful sword technique into the sword, giving it self-awareness.

Note: Holding this sword allows it to automatically perform the Wind Severing Sword Technique within.

Xiao Shi looked at this sword with a built-in sword technique, somewhat surprised.

This was the first time he had seen such a weapon!

The advantage of this sword was that it could fight on its own; the user was merely a tool, and the sword was the main body.

But the disadvantage was... he couldn't control it!

However, as a high-quality item among Qi Warrior Grade items, the sword technique it could unleash would surely be powerful.

Otherwise, with just such a characteristic, it wouldn't be enough to be a high-quality item.

Name: enlightenment bead

Type: Bead

Grade: Qi Warrior Grade

Introduction: A bead that records powerful killing moves, perhaps one can comprehend the powerful killing moves recorded within the bead.

Note: If you don't have enough comprehension, then give up.

Xiao Shi's eyes flickered.

He had heard of such beads before, but they were incredibly rare.

And most importantly, the killing moves that could be recorded by such beads were often extremely powerful and terrifying.

Ordinary killing moves were not qualified to be recorded by such beads.

This made Xiao Shi very expectant and curious about the killing move recorded in this [enlightenment bead].

Name: Star Orb of Vortex Opening

Type: Exotic Treasure

Grade: Qi Warrior Grade

Introduction: An extremely rare exotic treasure in the world, upon consumption, it can instantly open thirty-three Qi Vortexes.

Note: The fastest treasure for opening Qi Vortexes in the world!

The moment he saw this item, Xiao Shi's pupils contracted sharply.

Instantly open thirty-three Qi Vortexes!?

Such a terrifying treasure actually existed in the world!

This was too terrifying, too overbearing!

"Exotic Treasure?"

Before this, Xiao Shi had never seen an exotic treasure, nor had he even heard of one.

This caused a great shock in his heart.

The value of such a treasure... was simply astonishing!

After all, opening Qi Vortexes itself was not easy.

Instantly opening thirty-three Qi Vortexes, this was enough to drive every Qi Martial Realm martial artist crazy.

Name: corrosion breath

Type: Aura

Grade: Qi Warrior Grade

Introduction: A special aura that, after refining, allows one to grasp the ability to 'corrode'.

Note: Refining will have a certain degree of difficulty and requires compatibility with oneself to be refined.

Name: Thin Holy Blood

Type: Blood

Grade: Qi Warrior Grade

Introduction: The extremely thin blood of a certain Saint.

Note: Although it is an extremely thin drop of blood, it still contains the power of a Saint. If you cannot withstand the power of a Saint, do not use it.

Xiao Shi looked at one high-quality item after another, his heart filled with excitement and joy.

He mused that killing Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection indeed yielded greater rewards.

The items dropped this time... any single one of them had incredibly astonishing value!

They surpassed most Qi Warrior Grade items dropped in the past.

And in terms of quantity, there were also many.

A total of fourteen high-quality items dropped!

The only drawback was that among these fourteen high-quality items, the mysterious item from this place, which was even more precious than the ancient tree crystal, did not appear.

This made Xiao Shi turn his gaze to the sequence contenders trapped by the branches.

He felt that he still had to kill them to get that mysterious item to drop.

"Five sequence contenders, I'll kill one first and see."
